This role ensures the rapid restoration of network services and supports ongoing operational excellence in high-availability environments.\nThe ideal candidate will demonstrate exceptional technical competency, situational awareness in live network environments, and the ability to lead or coordinate complex restoration efforts under pressure.\nKey Responsibilities\nFiber Repair & Restoration\nPerform fault isolation and repairs on fiber optic cables and connectors, from initial fault detection through to full service restoration.\nConduct both emergency restorations and planned maintenance activities with strict adherence to SLAs.\nConduct single and ribbon fiber splicing within Meet-Me Vaults (MMVs), splice cases, and central Optical Distribution Frames (ODFs).\nPerform full cable preparation: jacket stripping, buffer tube access, fiber cleaning, cleaving, splicing, and protection.\nUse precision tools (fusion splicer, VFL, fiber identifiers) and ensure high-quality workmanship throughout.\nAdhere to live traffic handling procedures and ensure minimal service disruption during repairs.\nTesting & Troubleshooting\nOperate advanced fiber testing instruments (OTDR, OLTS, power meters, microscopes, and inspection scopes).\nConduct post-repair verification, including loss testing, reflectance analysis, and trace review.\nAccurately interpret OTDR traces and locate break points, microbands, or connector faults.\nPerform in-depth root cause analysis on recurring or systemic network issues.\nImplement corrective and preventive measures to improve reliability and reduce fault recurrence.\nDocumentation & Compliance\nMaintain accurate records of repair activities, test results, and maintenance logs.\nComply with relevant industry standards (ITU-T, FOA, BICSI, TIA/EIA, NEC) and local safety regulations.\nSupport audits and quality assurance processes as required.\nCollaboration & Leadership\nWork closely with field operations, network engineers, and project managers to coordinate repair activities.\nProvide guidance, mentorship, and on-the-job training to junior team members.\nParticipate in on-call rotations and respond to network outages within defined SLAs (e.g., 4-hour response for emergencies).\nCommunicate clearly with internal teams and clients during critical incidents, providing real-time updates and restoration progress reports.\nContinuous Improvement\nStay current with the latest fiber optic technologies, repair techniques, and industry best practices.\nParticipate in technical training, cross-functional workshops, and skill enhancement initiatives.\nContribute to the refinement of standard operating procedures (SOPs) and restoration workflows.\nRequired Skills & Experience\nTechnical Expertise\n5+ years' experience in fiber optic repair, splicing, testing, and restoration — including live-network work.\nProficient in using advanced test and repair equipment: OTDR, OLTS, power meter, fusion splicer, fiber identifier, and inspection scopes.\nStrong ability to interpret OTDR traces, event tables, and loss readings for accurate fault localization.\nDeep knowledge of fiber types, connector standards (LC, SC, MPO, MTP), and splice protection methods.\nExperience with both single-mode (OS1/OS2) and multi-mode (OM3/OM4/OM5) fibers.\nFamiliarity with high-count and ribbon fiber systems (864+, 1728+, etc.) and mass fusion techniques.\nSkilled at working in both OSP (outside plant) and ISP (inside plant) conditions.\nNetwork & Infrastructure Understanding\nAwareness of data center physical infrastructure, structured cabling systems, and routing standards.\nUnderstanding of Layer 1 principles, optical signal flow, and basic network architecture for troubleshooting.\nExperience restoring and maintaining backbone, metro, or enterprise optical networks.\nDiagnostic & Analytical Skills\nAbility to perform detailed fault isolation under time pressure.\nExperience conducting root cause analysis and contributing to failure analysis reports.\nCapable of identifying environmental and mechanical stress factors affecting fiber reliability.\nSafety, Quality & Compliance\nComprehensive understanding of laser safety, confined space procedures, lockout/tagout (LOTO), and PPE usage.\nProven commitment to safety-first practices, maintaining a zero-incident mindset.\nDemonstrated attention to workmanship quality, cleanliness, and handling of fiber materials.\nSoft Skills & Behavioral Attributes\nExcellent problem-solving and decision-making skills under pressure.\nClear and professional communication skills for incident coordination and client interaction.\nCollaborative mindset with the ability to lead or integrate into multidisciplinary field teams.\nStrong organizational skills, capable of documenting all activities accurately and consistently.\nSelf-motivated, adaptable, and capable of working independently in challenging environments.\nTechnical Tools & Systems\nProficiency with digital reporting systems and fiber management databases.\nComfortable using network mapping, GIS, or ticketing platforms for incident
